What do we do in school?

All students are taught how to keep themselves safe on the internet through whole school assemblies, computing lessons and are regularly reminded through different areas of the curriculum. This includes thinking about the information they put online, how to keep their social networking profiles private and where to go if they have concerns. All students and their parents / carers sign an acceptable use policy for using computers within school & college. Access to the internet is filtered which means that unsafe and unsuitable material is blocked. We also have real-time alerts enabled which highlights if a user is attempting to access inappropriate materials online.

You can view our Online Safety Newsletters below along with some really useful resources for parents further down the page. This includes things such as Parental Controls which applies filtering to your home internet and encourages your child to use the internet safely and appropriately.
